It's a pretty trendy motel, as you might guess from the website. The last time I was at the adjoining bar, it was a frat-boy/Marina yuppie hell, but was fun because my friend's sister in-law looked EXACTLY like Uma Thurman and everyone thought we were her posse! It was fun fooling the fan-boy dorks. But as others have said, it's a sketchy neighborhood at night, probably perfect for a rowdy TC after-party!

The BamBuddha Bar is pretty trendy, but there are some decent cocktails and good food. It's not likely that you'll have much time to hang out in that bar- we have plans for you people, you know. The hotel has a good vibe, and like any hotel: If you put enough TCers in one place, it becomes a tiki themed hotel!

I know it's a little more than last year's hotel, but as anyone who's been to SF knows, free parking for a day in SF is worth a load of cash right there.

Just to clarify: the hotel accomodations page emphasises the discount being offered to us on Friday & Saturday, but remember that the crawl actually begins Thursday (rates are already lower on weeknights). If you want to enjoy all four days of the crawl (Thurs-Sun), you'll be staying three nights, not two.
